Orbite Aluminae Inc. COO, Glenn Kelly, said:

During the third quarter we continued to remain focussed on building a new and more efficient Orbite. Our cost reduction measures have led to a 56% decrease in our burn rate compared to the previous quarter. In addition, the restructuring and streamlining of our management team has led to an organization better suited to our business plan and delivering on our priorities. We also recently announced the filing of a $10 to $16 million preliminary prospectus and a binding commitment for an additional $40 million in funding, via private placement, with a US based institutional investor. Accordingly, upon completion of our contemplated financings, we will be well positioned to execute on our short and near term business priorities, which are the finalization of our HPA facility and the development of our Red Mud Remediation project with our partner Veolia.
